Zhang Feng was very happy on the court at this time. Even though he was just a pick-and-roll "tool" for the team's backcourt, Zhang Feng still thought he had proven his worth.

It's not that the Thunder's defense didn't want to put pressure on the Blazers' backcourt players, but it was useless.

Zhang Feng continuously provides high-quality pick-and-roll screens, allowing the Thunder to double-team the ball carrier, but whether it is Westbrook or Robertson, they will always be half a beat late. This time is too difficult for Lillard and McCollum.

Such a small defender is enough.

If Adams' defense cannot expand, then the two-gun combination will find an opportunity on the outside and take action immediately without any hesitation.

In addition, the shooting touch was really good today, and there was nothing the Thunder could do about biu biu biu's shots.

There is no way to stop the Trail Blazers on the defensive end, so Westbrook can only respond on the offensive end.

After all, whether it's Lillard or McCollum, Westbrook's offense can crush these two.

Although Lillard and McCollum have extremely good speed and flexibility, Westbrook simply loses all his strength and rushes to the basket with the ball in hand, using his absolute advantage in physical confrontation to attack the inside.

.

If the Blazers don't cover up the defense, then Westbrook will just hit hard.

As long as the Blazers need to make up defense, especially after Zhang Feng inside, Westbrook will immediately pass the ball to Adams inside.

After making up a defense and being beaten by Adams with ease, Zhang Feng stopped coming.

Let Westbrook fly under the basket and escape by himself, I will stand still and guard Adams, guard my own three-point field, and just don't give Adams a chance to grab offensive rebounds in the paint.

Zhang Feng gained wisdom after learning every step, and locked up Adams, who did not have much offensive ability and could only "eat cake", allowing Westbrook to attack alone or pass the ball to others.

Zhang Feng no longer comes to help defend. If the rest of the Blazers can help defend, they will help McCollum defend. If the assistance cannot be adequate, then let McCollum defend alone.

But the result of this is that although Westbrook scored consecutively inside the Trail Blazers, he was as tired as he was in the first quarter, which took a huge toll on his physical energy.

In one attack, Westbrook can easily advance to the inside and hit, and in two attacks, he can also catch the ball with ease.

But three times, four times, Westbrook attacked the inside again and again, but in the end he would still be exhausted.

In the past, with Durant beside him to share the ball, Westbrook would have plenty of rest time on the court to recuperate his physical fitness, but today, he really acted as both a father and a mother on the court.

However, the shooting accuracy of other teammates, especially outside teammates, was extremely inaccurate, leaving Westbrook really powerless.

After half the game, the Trail Blazers had another small climax in the middle of the second quarter, with Westbrook off the court for a few minutes, taking advantage of the Thunder's disarray.

At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers' lead reached 21 points.

64 to 43. Although Westbrook personally scored 21 points in the first half, he accounted for half of the team's points. The support provided by other players was too little.

In the second half, Zhang Feng even had a chance to get some inside back-up opportunities on the court.

Facing Adams, who is good at defense, Zhang Feng's shooting percentage was quite good without anyone to defend him.

The increase in weight gives Zhang Feng greater capital in internal confrontations.

Coupled with his height and fantastic footsteps from the "true successor" of Dongfang Dayao, Zhang Feng can not only play hard but also exert his technical ability when facing Adams, he has certain advantages in the confrontation inside.

The title of the No. 1 center in the 13th session is now definitely well-deserved for Zhang Feng.

The game was actually not completely spent in the third quarter.

As for the Thunder, they took advantage of their suddenly strengthened defensive ability and the time when the Trail Blazers' outside shooting percentage dropped, and they managed a rare climax and recovered a certain number of points.

Although at the end of the third quarter, the score difference between the two sides was still 15 points, but given the current offensive rhythm, the 15-point difference is actually still a chance to compete.

However, the Trail Blazers did not give the Thunder another chance in the fourth quarter.

Since Westbrook led the team's offense in the third quarter, which also consumed a lot of energy, it is inevitable that he will have to rest for a while in the fourth quarter.

Stotts once again seized this period of time and decisively sent out a two-gun combination in the backcourt.

The Trail Blazers created their own "Youth Storm" in front of the former "Youth Storm" Thunder.

Zhang Feng, Lillard and McCollum, the Blazers' offense with three young people as the core, completely defeated the Thunder's defense on the field.

Different from the second quarter, McCollum and Lillard mainly used pick-and-rolls and shot directly from the outside.

After a poor feeling in the third quarter, in the fourth quarter's offense, after the pick-and-roll was completed, the Trail Blazers double-shot, paying more attention to the breakthrough inside, and passing the ball to Zhang Feng as a follow-up point.

.

If in positional offense, Adams still has a certain defensive ability against Zhang Feng, then in this kind of defense after the pick-and-roll, Adams cannot focus all his attention on Zhang Feng in terms of defensive choices on the move.

Feng's body gave Zhang Feng greater space to attack.

Whether it is a jump shot from the outside or a sudden pass after inserting into the three-second zone, for Zhang Feng, with the restraint of his teammates, he can fully demonstrate his offensive ability in the game.

Adams was also confused when faced with Zhang Feng's various offensive methods.

"We are both in our second year in the NBA, so why do you have so many offensive tricks? It's not fair!"

Today, Adams is still practicing his defensive skills hard, and all his skill points are focused on defensive specialization and rebounding specialization.

On the offensive end, the main focus is on "eating the pie", and he is a blue-collar player.

But the opponent Zhang Feng, a second-round pick in last year's draft, was actually on offense, doing the pick-and-roll job of a blue-collar player, but sometimes he did have the offensive threat ability of a protagonist.

Zhang Feng's outstanding long-range shooting last season, inside singles in this game, and various downward attacks. Adams can only envy Zhang Feng's offensive ability.

And when Westbrook's originally planned break ended and it was time to return to the game, the score difference was widened by the Trail Blazers to more than 20 points. What's the point of playing this game?

Simply, the Thunder simply called it quits and sent a wave of rookies and short-term contract players to deal with the situation, and the game went directly into garbage time.

In the end, in the opening game of the regular season, the Trail Blazers defeated the Thunder 112-91 at home, a huge score difference of 21 points, and won the opening game.
